Meet The Fully Redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade: Which Trim Fits You Best?

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade starts in the mid-$40,000 range for the base SE trim, with the top-of-the-line Calligraphy trim pushing into the low-to-mid $60,000s depending on configuration. Virginia buyers should also factor in destination charges and any applicable dealer fees. At Woodall Hyundai in Danville, we regularly have Hyundai specials and manufacturer offers that can make a meaningful difference in your total cost. You can also use our payment calculator to get a realistic monthly estimate before you even step into the showroom.

Yes, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is available with Hyundai’s HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system on most trims. This is a big deal for Virginia drivers who deal with icy patches on Route 29 in January or muddy backroads during spring. The AWD system includes multiple terrain modes (Snow, Mud, Sand, and Auto), so it adapts intelligently to conditions. Front-wheel drive is also available on lower trims if AWD isn’t a priority. We’d generally recommend AWD if you’re in a more rural part of Pittsylvania County or plan to do any hiking trips up toward the Blue Ridge Parkway. Browse our current Palisade inventory to filter by AWD and find the right trim.

The 2026 Palisade is available in both 7-passenger and 8-passenger configurations. The 8-seat layout uses a second-row bench seat, ideal for larger families who need maximum headcount. The 7-seat version uses captain’s chairs for easier third-row access and a more premium feel, popular with families who have kids in car seats or booster seats. Either way, the third row is genuinely usable, not just a fold-away afterthought. We also carry pre-owned Palisades if you’d like to explore a lower price point on this same great platform.

Hyundai loads the 2026 Palisade with its full SmartSense suite as standard equipment, even on the base SE. That includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Driver Attention Warning, and High Beam Assist. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist 2, which handles steering, speed, and lane changes on highways with minimal driver input. For Virginia families with new teen drivers or long commutes to the Triangle or Richmond, these features add real peace of mind. Pair that with Hyundai’s America’s Best Warranty and you’ve got serious long-term confidence in every mile.

Absolutely, and it’s a great way to reduce what you owe out of pocket on your new Palisade.
